REAL (not crap) S14.5 MASA conversion fenders. I think sizzzooo was the only other one that used to have these for his widebodied s13

story of masa fenders
we order a few set long ago for customers, it was for the s13.
people think that japan it's like here very efficient and things are all instock.
no, aftermarket auto companies(factory even) are super small(rent is expensive) and don't stock parts only make parts on pre order.
some like masa don't even make it until they gather a batch of large order(it's easy to make 10 of the same thing at once then 2 or 3).
so to make the story short, it took us almost 4 to 5 month to get those fenders in.
a couple of the customer was pissoff already, one cancelled his order so we were stock with one pair.
I got so pissed at Masa I call raceonusa and sold it to them(you guys know the rest)
as for the s14 conversion fenders, later on we had to order it for a customer name richard so we ordered an extra pair.
yes, it took 4 to 5 month to get here again and we sold the extra pair to Innercircle for their show car.
well IC put them on and there were small flaws, being a perfectionist they modified the fender and make their own version(so that's why we said IC are the best fitting conversion fenders).
later on IC bought a set of s13 version and did the same thing.
anyway, my point is that aero are not rare, just extremely expensive and can be had if you have the patience.
masa now came out with version 3(but I think it's ugly due to big vents).
cheers,
